COLLECTION INVENTORY Subgroup 1 Ship's Papers Brig Eunice H. Adams of Edgartown Contents of whaling box E1138 SCOPE AND CONTENT 2 Nicholson Whaling Manuscripts – Subgroup 1 – 3 The records in this collection represent the first four voyages of the brig Eunice H. Adams under the management of Samuel Osborn, Jr. of Edgartown, Massachusetts: The first two voyages, 1884-1884 and 1884-1885 are treated as one, because the brig returned to port prematurely due to severe leaks. After repairs, the voyage continued. The collection includes frequent correspondence to Osborn from the Master, Cornelius Marchant, and after Marchant's death, from his replacement, J. W. Pardee, crew accounts and individual signed agreements, as well as the signed Articles of Agreement for the voyage. Also included are bills and receipts for outfitting the vessel, and those incurred during the voyage, including those for medical treatment of the ailing Captain Marchant and bills for his funeral. There is a diagram of cask stowage on board ship. For the second voyage, there are frequent correspondence to Osborn from the Master, Manuel E. Costa, crew accounts and signed Articles of Agreement for the voyage, bills and receipts incurred prior to sailing and during the voyage. The collection from the third voyage includes frequent correspondence to Osborn from the Master, William A. Martin, his last letter dated January 1890, complaining about conditions onboard. Included also are a crew list, crew accounts, and the agreement with the captain, as well as bills and receipts for outfitting and those incurred during the voyage. The logbook indicates Martin was replaced in late January by Fordham, who brought the vessel back to New Bedford. The document collection does not reflect this change. Martin is still signing bills for the voyage after the date the logbook indicates he has been replaced. The Providence Public Library owns logbooks or journals for the voyages of 1869-1870, 1874-1876, 1884-1885, 1885-1887, 1887-90, 1893-94 and account books for the voyages of 1874-1876, 1884-1885, 1885-1887, 1887-1890, and 1893- 1894, filed elsewhere. The Kendall Whaling Museum and the New Bedford Whaling Museum also have logbooks for the voyage of 1869-70.

    maxon precision motors, inc. 125 Dever Drive Taunton, MA 02780 Phone: 508-677-0520 [email protected] www.maxongroup.us Media release, March 11, 2021 The America’s Cup World Series (ACWS) in December and Prada Cup in January-February were the first time that the AC75 class yachts had been sailed in competition anywhere, including by the competitors themselves. The boat’s capabilities were on full display demonstrating how hard each team has pushed the frontiers of technology, design, and innovation. Over the course of the ACWS, Emirates Team New Zealand was able to observe their competition including current challenger, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli. Luna Rossa last won the challenger selection series back in 2000 on their first attempt at the America’s Cup. This was the last time Emirates Team New Zealand met the Italians. As history shows Italy has not yet won the cup itself. They look strong and were totally dominant in the Prada Cup Final maintaining quiet confidence, but they are up against a sailing team in Emirates Team New Zealand who are knowledgeable, skilled, and very fast. Emirates Team New Zealand will have collected a great deal of data from Luna Rossa’s racing to date, with which to compare their performance and gain valuable insight into their opponents’ tactics and strategy. The Kiwis approach to the America’s Cup campaign holds a firm focus on innovation. Back in 2017/2018 when the design process began for the new current class of AC75 yachts, the entire concept was proven only through use of a simulator without any prototypes.

INTRODUCTION: "THE OLDEST CONTINUOUS TROPHY IN SPORTS" 2 One-hundred and thirty-seven ounces of solid silver, standing over two feet tall, this "One Hundred Guinea Cup" created under the authorization of Queen Victoria in 1848 is physically what is at stake at every America's Cup regatta.3 However, it is the dignity, honor, and national pride that attach to the victor of this cherished objet d'art that have been the desire of the yacht racing community since its creation. 4 Unfortunately, this desire often turns to envy and has driven some to abandon concepts of sportsmanship and operate by "greed, commercialism and zealotry."5 When these prin- ciples clash "the outcome of the case [will be] dictated by elemental legal principles."6 1.

  • An Historical Overviw of the Beaufort Inlet Cape Lookout Area of North
    by June 21, 1982 You can stand on Cape Point at Hatteras on a stormy day and watch two oceans come together in an awesome display of savage fury; for there at the Point the northbound Gulf Stream and the cold currents coming down from the Arctic run head- on into each other, tossing their spumy spray a hundred feet or better into the air and dropping sand and shells and sea life at the point of impact. Thus is formed the dreaded Diamond Shoals, its fang-like shifting sand bars pushing seaward to snare the unwary mariner. Seafaring men call it the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Actually, the Graveyard extends along the whole of the North Carolina coast, northward past Chicamacomico, Bodie Island, and Nags Head to Currituck Beach, and southward in gently curving arcs to the points of Cape Lookout and Cape Fear. The bareribbed skeletons of countless ships are buried there; some covered only by water, with a lone spar or funnel or rusting winch showing above the surface; others burrowed deep in the sands, their final resting place known only to the men who went down with them. From the days of the earliest New World explorations, mariners have known the Graveyard of the Atlantic, have held it in understandable awe, yet have persisted in risking their vessels and their lives in its treacherous waters. Actually, they had no choice in the matter, for a combination of currents, winds, geography, and economics have conspired to force many of them to sail along the North Carolina coast if they wanted to sail at all!¹ Thus begins David Stick’s Graveyard of the Atlantic (1952), a thoroughly researched, comprehensive, and finely-crafted history of shipwrecks along the entire coast of North Carolina.
